Sorry for the lack of posts; quick update. A lot's been going on... I'm fucking miserable, and here's why (Patreon)

Basically been trying to sort out buying a home in England, and it is the worst possible thing you could imagine. The amount of money I was asked to find over and over and over again for stamp duty was insane. Only to be told that a small part of it was from crypto, about 15k, which as it was processed at the same time as another payment of 49k, which was a loan from PayPal. They, for some reason, can't prove they are different, even though I have 10 pages of paperwork for the entire contract. The solicitors then nonchalantly asked me to find another 65k. And I exploded.
Because of England's tax fuck ups, I went over the past 4+ months looking to buy my forever home with about 50k + 20k for stamp duty tax to get the mortgage I needed. Only to be told I had to pull another 155k because there was a mistake in the pricing for the amount I borrowed with what lined up in my taxed, i must have been out by only a few thousand. Which I then got thanks to some family favors. Only to THEN be told that because I own multiple properties (which they didn't care about in Portugal to use as collateral), I have to pay an additional 20k on top. It's not over yet. Because, as of now, I live in Portugal more than in England, I have to pay another 2 percent stamp duty. Totalling just under 50k in stamp duty. Then I took out a working capital loan. Of 49k, which is a total fee of 57k to pay back. Only to be told that 65k is not valid and to find another 65k....
To make it clear, I went in to buy this forever home, my dream home, with about £50k to then earn the £20k stamp before the papers are passed. To then be told to find £155k, which I did. Then to find another £50k to fully cover the stamp. WHICH I FUCKING DID, only to be told the £65k DOESN'T FUCKING COUNT, AS THESE TAX TARDS NEED ME TO FIND ANOTHER 65K.
If you are following, they are asking me to find from my original £50k £265.
WHO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS, WHICH IS OVER HALF OF WHAT THE FUVCKING PROPERTY IS WORTH. So I said FUCK IT, fell out with my solicitors and exploded on them; they refunded me and don't work with me anymore, and I'm not buying this home.
I've drunk so much every day over the past few months, some days between 20-35 shots. A true nightmare amount, and only coming clean recently, and even now I'm extremely sick with the flu while fighting withdrawals. I'm really sorry about the lack of uploads this past week, but I hope this can help to explain why.
As I truly am fucking miserable. I wanted that home so bad, and I was raped through the coals by English solicitors who work with the tax man. A house in my budget that the bank said they would let me borrow, only for these assholes to ruin everything...
So yeah...fuck my home country, England; it made me realize why I left in the first place.
Anyways, I plan to get back to work soon. There's been other medical issues going on in the background relating to family, but it's not worth bringing up here, honestly.
Just know I'll be back to uploading very soon once this flu is gone,
Kind regards,
